The Lepidoptera fauna of the East Nusa Tenggara Islands in Indonesia was thought to comprise two species in the genus Barsine Walker, 1854, i.e. B. dohertyi (Rothschild, 1913) and B. podbolotskayae Spitsyn & Bolotov, 2018. However, we found that B. podbolotskayae is a member of its own monotypic genus, Albarrania Bolotov, Spitsyn & Kondakov gen. nov. The new combination is proposed as follows: Albarrania podbolotskayae (Spitsyn & Bolotov, 2018) gen. & comb. nov.
